Ye Ci couldn't help but chuckle as she watched them from afar. What kind of guild was this? Why did they have such a huge grudge against The Black Plum Family? Even a simple ambush would require such a huge amount of manpower. She knew that they were waiting for an ambush. If she didn't know better, she would've thought that they were conducting a military exercise.
However, their location was perfect. It was right in the blind spot of the monsters' patrol. There were so many natural barriers, and it was close to the boss. It was the perfect place to ambush. Ye Ci did a rough calculation. There were at least 180 players. Although she couldn't see their names and stats, she could tell that they were all wearing decent equipment. They were probably all above level 21. This team's teamwork aside, just their combat strength alone was not to be underestimated.
Ye Ci was a little puzzled.
The Black Plum Family didn't seem to have any feuds. Why would they let someone ambush them? Of course, this wasn't Ye Ci's main point. Her main point was that she could pick up some scraps while the two teams were fighting.
This didn't seem too honorable. However, it wasn't a good habit to not take advantage of an opportunity. Ye Ci had always thought of herself as a good player. A good player had to abide by the good habits of the game. You know what I mean.
Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she heard the sound of spells coming from not far away. Looking from afar, there were red, yellow, green, and blue spells of various colors that were constantly stirring up wind and waves on the withered yellow grassland. It was a beautiful sight to behold. Although she couldn't tell how many players there were, there were at least 100 players who could cast such a large area of effect spell.
Ye Ci looked at Warsong Priestess Dorian who was praying in front of the altar with her eyes closed. She made a quick calculation. With the level penalty deducted, with so many people pushing her, as long as the strategy was reasonable and no one caused any trouble, they should be able to defeat her in 2 to 3 hours. Unfortunately, The Black Plum Family was clearly out of luck today.
The people hiding in the trenches were still as dead as before. There would probably be no movement for the time being. On the other hand, although The Black Plum Family was facing a group of three to five monsters, they had the advantage in numbers. Could you imagine the scene of fifty Mages throwing fireballs at a single monster? Anyway, there were many Fireballs that didn't hit the monsters before they fell to the ground and reported to their ancestors.
Ye Ci followed behind them and slowly approached the altar where the Dorian Warsong was. Finally, after The Black Plum Family wiped out the last wave of mobs, Ye Ci climbed up the altar. Dorian was indeed an Elite Wild Boss. A human NPC with a bit of intelligence was actually very difficult to deal with. Dorian's Perceptive Sense was very high, and with the level penalty, she could easily detect any danger that stepped into her territory.
As soon as Ye Ci reached the altar, Dorian's eyes opened slightly. She looked in Ye Ci's direction, scaring Ye Ci so much that she immediately stood rooted to the ground. She finally managed to fool Dorian. However, she still nervously looked in Ye Ci's direction for a while before she turned her head back and quietly continued to pray.
Dorian wore a red robe and held a very eye-catching staff in her hand. On the altar in front of her was a golden chest.
A Golden Chest!
Ye Ci's eyes lit up. In the new year's patch, there was a line that stated that Treasure Chests would appear in all major maps, and there would be a lot of treasures inside the Treasure Chests.
However, there was one thing that only Ye Ci knew. Although these Treasure Chests were said to be respawned repeatedly, Treasure Chests of Gold and above would only drop good items the first time they were opened. Although they would still give a lot of experience and money, the chances of them dropping good items would be much lower.
Golden Chests would emit a special glow, but this glow could only be seen within 10 meters of it. Obviously, The Black Plum Family and that mysterious guild were unable to discover this Treasure Chest. Ye Ci suddenly felt that her luck was not bad. At the very least, she was able to pick up a huge treasure chest.
A Golden Chest guarded by a Dorian that had yet to be First Killed. Tsk tsk.
The members of The Black Plum Family were all about 50 meters away from Dorian. This was the closest distance that they could get without disturbing Dorian. If they took another step forward, Dorian would discover them.
They stood there and listened to the Barbarian at the front of the group.
Ye Ci knew this Barbarian. He was the guild leader of The Black Plum Family, The Red Dust. The Black Plum Family was the third strongest guild in the Southern Continent. Other than their own strength, they were also famous because of The Red Dust. The Red Dust was one of the best commanders in the Southern Continent. He was also one of the top 20 commanders in Fate. He was also the only melee class in the top 20 commanders in Fate.
Usually, it was better for a ranged class to be the commander. This was because ranged classes could see the entire battlefield and the interactions between the BOSS and the players more easily. Especially when the BOSS was constantly summoning monsters, ranged classes could better control the entire battlefield and direct the players' movements. However, if a melee class were to be the commander, their field of vision would be restricted, and their commands would be restricted.
Ye Ci had always thought that The Red Dust was an expert Barbarian and an expert commander. However, when these two classes were used by the same person, the difference was 50%. This was also the main reason why The Red Dust was ranked outside of the top 10 even though he was a famous commander.
By the time The Red Dust finished his explanation, The Black Plum Family had already set up their formation. At the command, the MTs pulled the aggro. Dorian immediately let out a strange cry and charged down from the altar. Ye Ci actually wanted to give Dorian a hit before they pulled the aggro. This way, she would be able to snatch the last kill. She might even be able to get the First Blood. However, if she were to do so, the grudge between the Black Plum Family and the mysterious guild would definitely be implicated. She was no longer alone, she was a member of Upwards Ho!. If she was alone, she would still be able to do such a thing. However, now that she had a party, she would definitely not do something that would harm others without benefiting herself.
Moreover, Ye Ci's attention was currently focused on the golden treasure chest. Who would care about Dorian's survival?
However, she could not reveal herself right now because there was still a team behind her. If she revealed herself now, she might become cannon fodder. Although she was confident in her own ability to escape, there was no need to fight 100 Level 21 players to the death, right?
Right now, all she had to do was wait quietly.
It seemed that The Black Plum Family had made very comprehensive preparations to take down Dorian. They had even practiced many times, and their strategy was very accurate. They knew when to interrupt the Boss's skills, when to collectively run to avoid the debuffs, when to collectively stop and wait for the Boss's invulnerability state to wear off. Everything was timed so precisely. It was so accurate that Ye Ci felt that they were the ones who had been reborn. Otherwise, how could they be so perfect?
Seeing that Dorian only had 10% HP left, Ye Ci felt that her legs were about to ache from squatting. As for those who were lying in the trenches behind them, they were probably not any better. They had been waiting for this moment all along.
10% HP was a very delicate amount. If they rushed out when the Boss's HP was low, The Black Plum Family could give up on the attack and fight to the death with them. In that case, they might not be able to gain the upper hand. However, once the Boss's HP fell to 10%, The Black Plum Family would have used up a lot of their potions and scrolls. At that time, they would not give up. If they rushed out again, not only would they be able to catch the enemy off guard, they might even be able to take over Dorian.
Therefore, 10% HP was the key to killing and robbing.
Ye Ci sent a message to Fluttering Red Feather. She knew Fluttering Red Feather well enough to know that he would not turn off the option to send private messages to strangers. Unlike Ye Ci, who would turn off the option to send private messages to friends, Fluttering Red Feather had never turned off the option to send private messages to strangers.
Sure enough, it was not related.
"Someone is preparing to ambush you." Ye Ci did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Who are you!" The Red Dust seemed to be a little nervous. At this time, no matter who it was, they would be nervous to receive such a message.
"Not an enemy." Ye Ci thought for a while.
"How do you know?"
"I saw it when I was passing by."
"Why should I believe you! I don't even know who you are … "
"Around 100 people in your 9 o 'clock direction. They're all Level 21 and above." Ye Ci was not interested in playing the 'who are you' game with him. After she finished speaking, she hung up the private message. She was now waiting for both sides to start fighting. When no one was paying attention to her, she would open the golden chest and run.
She did not mean anything by informing The Black Plum Family. Although they and Ye Ci were just using each other in her previous life, she did get a lot of money from them. For the sake of money … she did not want them to be in a difficult situation.
That was all.
The Red Dust was obviously hesitant when he heard Ye Ci's words. However, in the end, he decided that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble and made adjustments to his team. Just as he finished adjusting himself, he heard someone shout, "Charge!" Following which, he saw hundreds of players rushing towards the Black Plum Guild's direction.
Ye Ci took the opportunity to quickly walk to the side of the golden chest and reached out to open it. Fortunately, the chest was not locked.
Opening chest 3% … 17% … 78% …
The opening time of the chest was different according to the level of the chest. For example, the opening time of a golden chest was 20 seconds. Taking advantage of this time, Ye Ci looked into the distance. The two teams had already mixed together. Spells, sword lights, healing spells, and all sorts of other spells were mixed together. It made the grassy Warsong Tribe very lively. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
